Doc does Cochem 2025 with special (needs) ukgser guests
- Thread starter Doc
- Start date
Have a great trip and I'll see a fellow central belter in Cochem!Ready (almost) for my ferry on Monday night from Hull to Rotterdam. My first time on this one, but DFDS on my usual North Shields - Ijmuiden route wanted £300 more for the same days.
Bike MOT’d yesterday. Oil and filters changed. All pads out and checked ok.
Not looking for an Autobahn record - that was in 2015. I’ve got too much imagination about panniers dismounting at 130
Got a few stops along the way, including Porsche and Audi museums. Grossglockner. Timmelsjoch, with the MC museum. Lots of scenery.
I’ll arrive in Stumbergers on 19th for 3 nights.
No kilt here either. Not sure about a flowery shirt either.
I like a cool beer or 2. (I’ll pass on the Irish Pub)

I'm been to the Porsche museum in Gmund, Austria.
I'm been ?
Well i didn't like to say owt but you are generally the first to point out bad grammar.My most humble apologies. Yes, it should have read "I've".
I'm now going out to one of my pole sheds to whip myself sore!
I live near the Kelpies.
Itching to get this show on the road. Hoping for a dry ride to Hull tomorrow.
My advice for the ferry John. Take your own tie downs as I find the ones they provide are shite.
Also you have to do it yourself.
Also make sure you watch the band they put on. It's like being at a show in Las Vegas.
Have a great ride down. What route?
So you live in Grangemouth (unless they've moved the line)!
It'll be fine.
I’m heading down the A697 then down A1 etc.
couldn’t face pounding the M74, M6, A66. Especially if wind and rain appears.
I'm going the A1 too as the A66 can be brutal.
Enjoy!
I was planning to go to Edinburgh on Thursday then Doncaster area on Friday but Thursday weather forecast (on Ventusky) looks horrible!!!! 
Would you buy anything from him?
I’m pretty sure the pikies are having their annual “ event “ at Appleby this week so best avoid the A66 altogether.
Yep, just looked, 5th to the 11th of June.
That's my bike all loaded ready to go ( including Hawaiian shirt and custom painted waistcoat - just for Doc).
Now to monitor the weather for departure date of my choice (Wednesday, if dry, with a stopover at Bonnyrigg or Thursday and a 400 mile haul to middle England)!!!!
Decisions, decisions!

Painkillers also packed - and not just because Doc can be hard work!!!!That's my bike all loaded ready to go ( including Hawaiian shirt and custom painted waistcoat - just for Doc).
